Note: Hello. Ok. So I have caught this saltwater bug and have been trying to create a tank that can be both beautiful and cost efficient. My current tank is insufficient. I want to house fish, inverts, and corals
If you were going to start either a 50 or 55 gallon tank and you were on a very tight budget, how would you do it, and how much would you pay for the tanks w/ and w/out the metal stands? First, would you prefer a 50 or a 55 gallon tank and why? Would you utilize a drilled tank or a non-drilled tank? (I'm confused about the purpose of an overflow box and a sump although, I somewhat understand them). What lighting would you use assumng you were going to house inverts? What fish or other specimens would you purchase? What other equipment, and specifically what brands would you use?
I have ideas however; I would love to hear all your ideas! Thank you MR.
